Also a general thing: I don't think the non-posting parts of hydras should be allowed to talk with anyone but their hydra partner.
In practice they could still use the main head to post in the neighbour/mason/whatever qt for them, but since this is a significant bother, it would at least reduce the effectivity.
For this particular game, if the neighbours weren't so dead certain they're both town I think it would have been more balanced.
With how lazy PX was this game, I wonder if I would've ever gotten to do anything but ramble on and on in our QT without getting anything posted in the neighbour QT or in thread. I remember at some point I was like "you wanted a hydra to have somebody to talk to, but then you don't talk to me at all ;_;"
Props to Neko for the really successful play this game, I'd only have lynched him if I had to choose between him and Serela, and mostly just because of low activity rate, everything else was pretty solid.
Edit: Also my "case" on Dorian was genuine, I didn't even consider the possibility that we were scum by then. It wouldn't have gotten him lynched, but it was the kind of thing that irked me enough for a vig.
Edit2: And I can understand the hydra hate, I was really active in D2 this game due to... pretty much being able to slack off in what I was supposed to be doing, but I wouldn't have been able to post at all at some points in D1, nor would I have been able to post for over half of D3 if the game had continued, hence looking for a hydra instead of just playing. I wasn't really going to post in-thread either, but PX always posted while I was asleep, and then it was 5-6 hours to deadline and people wanted us lynched, so I had to do something to try not to lose.
